Call the direct investing telephone # or go online and find the transfer form. Easiest to call though as they will fill in the details and send you a form to sign and date. Send it back and they will handle it all on their end and Scotia's end, you don't need to say anything to Scotia. I just went through the process this past week. Takes about a week+ for the transfer to be made though.

There may be a fee for transferring out of Scotia (makes sense since they're doing work to lose funds). However, you should ask TD if they can cover the transfer fees - usually though you'd need to be transferring a minimum amount.

Include sources.

A good answer will be supported by relevant and reliable sources. Answers that link only to your personal blog or website are considered low-quality and may be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Have an in-depth answer.

Use a mix of context, explanation, and sources in your answer. Do not just post links to other sites as an answer.

Be inquisitive.

If you want more information, or clarification, relating to a response then try to be clear that you are unsure, and invite people to expand on your thoughts. Do not post "I'm not sure if this is true..." or "Someone will correct me if I'm wrong."

Be welcoming and friendly.

Some people who are new to finances might not know what they're doing. Be patient with them. Keep disagreements polite. This is an advice forum, and therefore we have the expectation that people are coming here looking for help, and they want to be corrected.
